Takeaways are everywhere, and the big guys are crazy about me

Chapter 356: The Soul of the Eight Trigrams, Burning

"Wei'er, I..." Gu An was completely stunned. How could Wei'er appear here, and in this state?

"Your Highness, please call me Miss Xu!" Xu Wei looked at Gu An with cold eyes.

"Wei'er, what is going on? Why have you become like this? You, you didn't, you didn't elope with that scholar?" Gu An already had a guess in his mind, but he didn't dare to take this guess seriously.

"So you really believed the rumor that I eloped with a scholar, Gu An? You and I have been in love for about five or six years. Do you remember what you promised me when we were talking about our hearts? You said you would never hurt me." The indifference in Xu Wei's eyes faded, leaving only sadness.

"I, I didn't."

"Your mother has always looked down on me because I am just the daughter of a small minister of the Ministry of Revenue and cannot be of any help to you." Xu Wei closed her eyes, unwilling to look at the man she once loved the most.

Gu An has always known about this, so he tried to juggle between his sweetheart and his mother, hoping that his mother could accept his sweetheart.

His position was very stable. He was the only prince in the entire harem, and his position as crown prince was as solid as Mount Tai. He didn't need any help from women at all.

Besides, my mother's original family was not a famous family, but my father could ignore the harem for my mother, so why couldn't I marry my sweetheart?

But after he had finally convinced his mother to agree to their marriage, she actually ran away with someone else.

It's not that he didn't have doubts, but the people he sent out found out exactly the same things as what his mother had people find out. Moreover, Lord Xu had also apologized to him, and his words, both explicitly and implicitly, had indicated that she had run away with someone.

Seeing Gu An's puzzled and unbelieving expression, Xu Wei suddenly laughed: "Your Highness, do you still remember that day when you told me that the Queen had agreed to our marriage?"

Gu An nodded. The scene of that day often appeared in his mind. He had wanted to go back to that day many times and ask her why she left him when she was about to succeed.

"But just after you told me this, the Queen called me to the palace. After being humiliated, I was killed by a cup of poisoned wine. My body is now under the well in the cold palace. Your Highness, this is what you meant by consent. If I had known that being with you would cost me my life, I would rather have never seen you." Xu Wei's face was filled with hatred.

Gu An looked at Xu Wei in disbelief, then turned stiffly to look at his mother.

"Mother, did you really kill Wei'er?" Gu An couldn't believe it.

"I just want to find someone to help you, is that wrong?" Shen Ru already knew that she was probably powerless to save the situation, so she might as well go crazy.

"Mother, I thought that after my persuasion, you would not care about these things. For your sake, the emperor can treat the harem as if it were nothing and only favor you. Why, why can't it be the same for me?" Gu An didn't know that there was a word called double standard.

"Yes, you only see the love your father has for me. Have you seen how sad I am when I am alone in my empty room, watching those people coming to the palace to compete for my favor? It's because my family is not powerful enough. I do this for you."

"Don't make yourself sound so pitiful, Shen Ru. Among those who fought with you in the palace, who could have defeated you?" The arrogant female ghost who had been silent suddenly spoke.

"Noble Concubine Shen, long time no see." Shen Ru looked at Noble Concubine Shen's face. After so many years, she still maintained the same appearance as before her death, always so bright and beautiful, and she...

Shen Ru touched her face, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.

"It's not been a long time since we last met. I've been watching you every day, watching you build high buildings and walls step by step, and then fall from the wall to the ground with a thud." Concubine Shen looked at her own slender hands, as if giving her a look would be redundant.

"Don't be too proud. Even if I lost, so what? My son is still the crown prince. And you were the most favored concubine back then, so what? You were overthrown by a small promise from me." Shen Ru's face was filled with almost crazy sarcasm.

Concubine Shen finally gave her a look and said, "If you hadn't bribed that damn midwife when I was giving birth, do you think you would have won? Shen Ru, let me tell you something. The emperor has never loved you." After Concubine Shen finished speaking, she suddenly burst into laughter.

A gloomy look flashed across Shen Ru's face: "I don't believe it."

"Believe it or not, you know it best in your heart. Our emperor seems to be very loyal and righteous, but he is the most heartless to other women. Of course, this includes me, but also you."

"No, it's impossible. He loves me, he loves me, how could he not love me? He has made his harem meaningless for me, how could he not love me? You lied to me." Shen Ru seemed to have fallen into her own fantasy world, tears already streaming down her eyes.

"Don't deceive yourself anymore. You already know who the person in his heart is, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have been so anxious to take action against her, which led to you being banished to the cold palace!" Concubine Shen sneered.

Gu An was completely dumbfounded. No, he hadn’t resolved the issue between him and his sweetheart yet, and now another problem arose?

If the father didn't love the mother, then why did he make the harem a mere formality for her? Moreover, who did the mother target to make the father so angry? No, the father banished the mother to the cold palace, wasn't it because she wanted to rebel?

Gu An felt like his brain was a little confused.

"Yuan, Jin, Yue!" Shen Ru suddenly said a name with gritted teeth.

"puff!"

"puff!"

"Cough cough cough..."

When the people who were watching the scene in the cold palace through mirror flowers and water moon heard this name, they directly sprayed out the water that had just entered their mouths.

Mo Qianxun patted his chest to calm himself down, then looked at Yuan Jinyue, "Sister Jinyue, what do you mean, the person that the emperor likes in his heart is you?"

Yuan Jinyue also looked confused: "Ah? I don't know, I really don't know."

The two disciples behind her clenched their fists. What was wrong with this emperor? How dare he covet their master?

"Keep watching, keep watching, the climax is coming, I'm really getting more and more curious about what else they can reveal." Chen Min rubbed his hands together, and the soul of gossip was burning! e?(?>?<)?3
